Par ailleurs, une telle structure n'est pas adaptée pour l'équipement de salles de jeux de grand public où chaque appareil doit être autonome.In the field of games using a roulette, it is known the manually driven casino roulette in which a ball is thrown manually at each game, which requires a permanent control of the casino staff: croupier and other, on the results. Furthermore, such a structure is not suitable for equipping general public game rooms where each device must be autonomous.

Le dispositif selon l'invention apporte une solution et a pour objet un jeu de production de scores, du type comportant une roulette pourvue d'un plateau toumant autour d'un axe vertical dans la partie évidée d'un plateau périphérique fixe en forme de cuvette et une bille, le plateau toumant pourvu de perforations régulièrement réparties circonférentiellement, en ce que son arbre est relié à un motoréducteur d'entraînement et sous le plateau rotatif est disposé un plateau inférieur de récupération destiné à diriger la bille traversant l'une des perforations du plateau vers une goulotte d'amenée de la dite bille en vis à vis de moyens de remontée et de transfert de la bille vers le plateau toumant de la roulette à des moyens de détection du passage de la bille reliés d'une part à un microprocesseur avec un calculateur relié à un afficheur de nombres ou scores, les moyens de transfert de la bille vers le plateau toumant de la roulette comportent au niveau de la sortie latérale au plateau un système de retenue de la bille, au passage de celle-ci et de libération par des moyens commandés, à un instant donné, choisi par le joueur afin de tenter d'amener la bille dans un orifice choisi du plateau toumant lui procurant le meilleur score.The device according to the invention provides a solution and relates to a game for producing scores, of the type comprising a roulette provided with a plate rotating around a vertical axis in the hollowed out part of a fixed peripheral plate in the form of bowl and a ball, the rotary plate provided with perforations regularly distributed circumferentially, in that its shaft is connected to a drive gear motor and under the rotary plate is disposed a lower recovery plate intended to direct the ball passing through one of the perforations of the plate towards a chute for supplying said ball opposite the means for raising and transferring the ball to the plate rotating from the wheel to means for detecting the passage of the ball connected on the one hand to a microprocessor with a calculator connected to a display of numbers or scores, the means of transfer of the ball towards the rotating plate of the roulette comprise at the level of the lateral exit to the tray a system for retaining the ball, as it passes and for release by controlled means, at a given instant, chosen by the player in order to attempt to bring the ball into a chosen orifice of the touching tray giving him the highest score.

Le système de retenue de la bille est constitué d'un système de guidage en descente de la cuvette de sorte à former des moyens articulés anti retour de la bille vers les moyens de remontée de celle-ci sur lequel est prévu un organe de retenue de la bille, normalement en position en saillie sur le trajet de la bille et déplaçable latéralement sous l'action des moyens de commande.The ball retaining system consists of a system for guiding the descent of the bowl so as to form articulated means for preventing the ball from returning to the means for raising it on which a retaining member is provided. the ball, normally in the projecting position on the path of the ball and movable laterally under the action of the control means.

L'organe de retenue est constitué d'un volet pivotant autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe du système de guidage, entre une position oblique en saillie à l'intérieur du système de guidage de sorte à retenir la bille par pincement latéral et une position effacée ou la partie extrême du dit volet est dégagé du système de guidage selon une autre solution l'organe de retenue est constitué d'un organe disposé transversalement à l'axe du système de guidage, tel que doigt ou volet obturateur et commandé en coulissement transversal par les moyens de commande pour s'effacer latéralement pour assurer la libération de la bille.The retaining member consists of a flap pivoting about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the guide system, between an oblique projecting position inside the guide system so as to retain the ball by lateral pinching and an erased position or the extreme part of said flap is released from the guide system according to another solution the retaining member consists of a member disposed transversely to the axis of the guide system, such as a finger or a shutter flap and controlled in transverse sliding by the control means for laterally erasing to ensure the release of the ball.

L'extrémité des moyens de guidage présente, vu de dessus, une forme en tronc de cône ou de pyramide afin d'assurer une position précise de la trajectoire de la bille lors de sa libération, les moyens d'actionnement de l'organe de retenue sont constitués d'un électro-aimant disposé transversalement, horizontalement ou verticalement en système de guidage et attelé par articulation au dit organe de retenue et dont l'alimentation électrique est assurée à partir d'un bouton de commande accessible au joueur.The end of the guide means has, seen from above, a truncated cone or pyramid shape in order to ensure a precise position of the trajectory of the ball when it is released, the means of actuation of the member retainers consist of an electromagnet arranged transversely, horizontally or vertically as a guide system and coupled by articulation to said retainer and the power supply of which is ensured from a control button accessible to the player.

En variante, les moyens d'actionnement de l'organe de retenue sont constitués d'une commande manuelle à tirette rappelée par ressort, la sortie latérale au plateau du système de guidage est orientée selon un plan radial au plateau tournant de façon inclinée correspondant à l'angle de la cuvette fixe définie circonférentiellement au plateau tournant.As a variant, the actuating means of the retaining member consist of a manual control with a pull-back spring, the lateral outlet to the plate of the guide system is oriented in a radial plane to the rotating plate in an inclined manner corresponding to the angle of the fixed bowl defined circumferentially to the turntable.

Le volet de retenue de la bille peut être soit constitué d'une plaque plane ou limité à un fil, supporté sur une ou deux tiges formant axe d'articulation de sorte à ce que ce fil se situe sensiblement dans une zone comprise entre un plan passant par l'axe de la bille et un plan légèrement supérieur de façon à bien assurer le blocage de la bille en évitant que celle-ci passe par dessus sous l'effet de sa vitesse d'arrivée dans cette zone descendante. Selon des particularités de réalisation avec détermination de nombre au hasard, les moyens de détection du passage de la bille sont disposés sur la goulotte, le microprocesseur est pourvu de moyens de production d'un nombre aléatoire à l'instant de la détection et le plateau de récupération est fixe et pourvu de parties inclinées dirigeant la balle vers la goulotte.The ball retaining flap can either be made up of a flat plate or limited to a wire, supported on one or two rods forming a hinge pin so that this wire is located substantially in an area between a plane passing through the axis of the ball and a slightly higher plane so as to ensure the blocking of the ball well by preventing it from passing over it under the effect of its speed of arrival in this descending zone. According to particular features with random number determination, the means for detecting the passage of the ball are arranged on the chute, the microprocessor is provided with means for producing a random number at the time of detection and the plate recovery is fixed and provided with inclined parts directing the ball towards the chute.

Selon un second mode de réalisation, la détermination du nombre ou score est conditionnée par les valeurs affectées à chacun des trous du plateau tournant et dans ce cas, d'une part chaque trou est affecté d'une valeur donnée et sont prévus des moyens capteurs, disposés par exemple en périphérie du plateau toumant, destinés à capter de manière sélective le trou traversé par la bille et la valeur qui lui est affectée et à la transmettre au microprocesseur, et d'autre part, soit le plateau inférieur de récupération est tel qu'il maintient la bille dans le trou dans lequel elle s'est engagée sur un tour de plateau tournant pour permettre au capteur la mesure de la valeur lorsque le trou considéré passe en vis à vis et ensuite permettre l'évacuation de la bille vers la goulotte, soit le plateau de récupération de la bille sous le plateau toumant est situé sous celui-ci et est solidaire de moyens d'abaissement et / ou inclinaison commandés après détection du passage de la bille ou lecture de la valeur du trou où se trouve la bille.According to a second embodiment, the determination of the number or score is conditioned by the values assigned to each of the holes of the turntable and in this case, on the one hand each hole is assigned a given value and sensors are provided. , arranged for example on the periphery of the rotating plate, intended to selectively capture the hole through which the ball and the value assigned to it and transmit it to the microprocessor, and on the other hand, either the lower recovery plate is such that it keeps the ball in the hole in which it is engaged on a turn of the turntable to allow the sensor to measure the value when the hole considered passes opposite and then allow the evacuation of the ball towards the chute, or the ball recovery plate under the rotating plate is located under the latter and is secured to lowering and / or tilting means controlled after detection of the passage of the ball or reading of the value of the hole where the ball is located.

Les moyens capteurs de la valeur affectée aux trous peuvent être des moyens optiques de lecture de codes à barres affectés à chaque trou du plateau.The means for detecting the value assigned to the holes may be optical means for reading bar codes assigned to each hole in the tray.

En outre, le plateau toumant est translucide ou en matériau opaque perforé d'orifices radiaux passant chacun par l'axe d'un trou de façon à laisser passer un faisceau lumineux émis par un émetteur qui est soit coupé par la bille présente dans un trou, information saisie par un capteur en vis à vis, soit réfléchi dans le cas où la bille est en matériau ou revêtue d'un matériau réfléchissant de sorte que le faisceau lumineux émis en périphérie ou en partie intérieure du plateau est capté après réflexion par les moyens capteurs disposés du même côté que les moyens émetteurs.In addition, the rotating plate is translucent or of opaque material perforated with radial orifices each passing through the axis of a hole so as to allow a light beam emitted by a transmitter to pass which is either cut by the ball present in a hole , information entered by a sensor opposite, or reflected in the case where the ball is made of material or coated with a reflective material so that the light beam emitted on the periphery or in the interior of the plate is captured after reflection by the sensor means arranged on the same side as the emitting means.

Ainsi, les moyens capteurs, par exemple avec émetteur et récepteur optiques de la présence de la bille dans un trou commandent l'actionnement des moyens de lecture optique, de moyens d'identification, par exemple code à barres du trou correspondant, ces derniers étant de préférence disposés à chaque fois en arrière du trou correspondant par rapport au sens de déplacement de sorte à être lu aussitôt après la détection de la présence de la bille.Thus, the sensor means, for example with optical transmitter and receiver of the presence of the ball in a hole, control the actuation of the optical reading means, of identification means, for example barcode of the corresponding hole, the latter being preferably arranged each time behind the corresponding hole relative to the direction of movement so as to be read immediately after the detection of the presence of the ball.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le plateau de récupération est alors articulé autour d'un axe horizontal disposé du côté opposé à la goulotte d'amenée et relié du côté opposé à l'axe d'articulation à des moyens d'abaissement commandés après détection de la valeur du trou dans lequel se trouve la bille de sorte que la bille ne s'échappe du trou du plateau tournant que dans la zone opposée à l'axe d'articulation.According to one embodiment, the recovery plate is then articulated around a horizontal axis disposed on the side opposite to the feed chute and connected on the side opposite to the articulation axis to controlled lowering means after detection the value of the hole in which the ball is located so that the ball only escapes from the hole in the turntable in the area opposite the axis of articulation.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques l'ensemble est disposé sur un bâti dans un boîtier surmonté d'une vitre de protection vers l'avant de l'appareil rendant les éléments inaccessibles.According to other characteristics, the assembly is arranged on a frame in a box surmounted by a protective glass towards the front of the device making the elements inaccessible.

Les moyens de remontée et de transfert de la bille sont constitués, d'une part, d'une goulotte ou conduit en plan incliné montant périphériquement à la cuvette et s'en rapprochant progressivement pour y déboucher intérieurement, et d'autre part, d'un éjecteur ou lanceur par exemple à ressort commandé manuellement ou motorisé par exemple du type électromagnétique.The means for raising and transferring the ball consist, on the one hand, of a chute or conduit in an inclined plane rising peripherally to the bowl and progressively approaching it to open internally, and on the other hand, d 'An ejector or launcher for example with manually controlled spring or motorized for example of the electromagnetic type.

La détermination du score est assurée non pas uniquement de façon aléatoire par le générateur mais conditionnée par la valeur affectée au trou par lequel la bille est passée, ceci étant obtenu par des moyens de captage sélectif de la valeur de l'orifice traversé par la bille la transmettant au microprocesseur et au calculateur, ces moyens étant constitués par exemple par l'utilisation d'un faisceau lumineux (15') dirigé du centre vers l'extérieur du plateau (3) alors réalisé par exemple en matériau translucide dont la périphérie extérieure porte des moyens de repérage, exemple code à barres en vis à vis de chaque trou de sorte qu'une cellule captrice (15) disposée périphériquement en un point donné solidaire du bâti (2) transmet au microprocesseur et au calculateur, la valeur lue affectée au trou (4) au travers duquel la bille (5) se trouve engagée coupant ainsi le faisceau lumineux. Le fond de récupération (8) de la bille sous le plateau tournant étant dans ce cas situé à la hauteur supérieure, directement sous la face inférieure du plateau tournant de sorte à maintenir la bille (5) dans le trou dans lequel elle s'est engagée sur au moins une partie d'un tour en étant, soit solidaire de moyens d'abaissement et d'inclinaison (14), commandés après que le capteur ait lu la valeur du trou (4) où se trouve la bille, soit pourvu d'une zone en contre bas pour l'évacuation de la bille en un point de la périphérie de ce fond, de sorte à maintenir la bille dans le trou sur au moins une partie du parcours pour permettre la lecture de la seule zone qui n'est pas éclairée avant l'évacuation de la bille (9). Cette version avec score déterminé par la valeur du trou traversé peut être mise en oeuvre par d'autres types de capteurs qui peuvent être électriques ou mécaniques, transmettant à chaque fois la valeur correspondant au trou traversé par la bille au microprocesseur et au calculateur. Dans le cas de moyens optiques capteurs, la transmission lumineuse peut être assurée, en variante, par des perçages radiaux réalisés dans un plateau tournant en matériau opaque passant chacun par l'axe d'un trou (4); le captage pouvant aussi s'effectuer, dans ce cas, par réflexion d'un faisceau émis en périphérie sur une bille réalisée alors en matériau réfléchissant ou pourvu d'un revêtement réfléchissant, comportant d'une part, des moyens capteurs, par exemple avec émetteur et récepteur optiques de la présence de la bille (5) dans un trou commandant l'actionnement de moyens prévus, d'autre part de lecture optique, des moyens d'identification du trou correspondant (4) par exemple code à barres. Ces derniers étant disposés à chaque fois en arrière du trou (4 ) correspondant par rapport au sens de déplacement de sorte à être lus aussitôt après la détection de la présence de la bille (5).The determination of the score is ensured not only randomly by the generator but conditioned by the value assigned to the hole through which the ball has passed, this being obtained by means of selective collection of the value of the orifice crossed by the ball transmitting it to the microprocessor and to the computer, these means being constituted for example by the use of a light beam (15 ′) directed from the center towards the outside of the plate (3) then made for example of translucent material whose outer periphery carries identification means, example bar code opposite each hole so that a sensing cell (15) disposed peripherally at a given point integral with the frame (2) transmits to the microprocessor and the computer, the value read assigned to the hole (4) through which the ball (5) is engaged thereby cutting the light beam. The recovery bottom (8) of the ball under the turntable being in this case located at the upper height, directly under the underside of the turntable so as to hold the ball (5) in the hole in which it is engaged on at least part of a turn by being either integral with lowering means and tilt (14), controlled after the sensor has read the value of the hole (4) where the ball is located, is provided with a zone below against for the evacuation of the ball at a point on the periphery of this bottom, so as to maintain the ball in the hole on at least part of the course to allow the reading of the only zone which is not lit before the evacuation of the ball (9). This version with score determined by the value of the hole crossed can be implemented by other types of sensors which can be electrical or mechanical, each time transmitting the value corresponding to the hole crossed by the ball to the microprocessor and to the computer. In the case of optical sensor means, the light transmission can be ensured, as a variant, by radial bores made in a turntable made of opaque material each passing through the axis of a hole (4); the capture can also be carried out, in this case, by reflection of a beam emitted on the periphery on a ball then made of reflective material or provided with a reflective coating, comprising on the one hand, sensor means, for example with optical transmitter and receiver of the presence of the ball (5) in a hole controlling the actuation of means provided, on the other hand for optical reading, means for identifying the corresponding hole (4), for example bar code. The latter being disposed each time behind the hole (4) corresponding to the direction of movement so as to be read immediately after the detection of the presence of the ball (5).

Selon une autre variante, la bille est en matériau métallique ou magnétique en totalité ou seulement au niveau d'un insert et les moyens capteurs sont du type magnétiques combinés à des moyens de lecture de la valeur du trou de type magnétique ou optique.According to another variant, the ball is made of metallic or magnetic material entirely or only at the level of an insert and the sensor means are of the magnetic type combined with means for reading the value of the hole of the magnetic or optical type.

Selon la figure 2, le plateau de récupération (8) de la bille (5) est articulé à une extrémité autour d'un axe (8) et actionné en inclinaison par un mécanisme motorisé à excentrique (14) ou tout autre moyen électromagnétique et mécanique; en sortie de la goulotte d'amenée (9) est positionné le système de remontée de la bille (5) vers la cuvette (1).According to FIG. 2, the recovery plate (8) of the ball (5) is articulated at one end about an axis (8) and actuated in inclination by a motorized eccentric mechanism (14) or any other electromagnetic means and mechanical; at the outlet of the feed chute (9) is positioned the system for raising the ball (5) towards the bowl (1).

Le jeu de roulette, lorsqu'il est pourvu de moyens de détection de la valeur affectée au trou traversé, peut être utilisé complémentairement en jeu d'adresse, dans ce cas, la roulette étant à l'horizontale, le système (16) (16') de retenue de la bille (5) en forme trapézoïdale est installé sur la pente inclinée de la cuvette permettant de pincer la bille (5) au passage de celle-ci et de la libérer par l'écartement d'une des parois (16) par des moyens électromagnétiques commandés (17), permettant au joueur de pouvoir tenter d'amener la bille (5) dans un orifice choisi du plateau toumant, lui procurant le meilleur score.The roulette game, when provided with means for detecting the value assigned to the hole crossed, can be used in addition to a game of skill, in this case, the roulette being horizontal, the system (16) ( 16 ') retaining the ball (5) in trapezoidal shape is installed on the inclined slope of the bowl making it possible to pinch the ball (5) as it passes and to release it by the spacing of one of the walls (16) by controlled electromagnetic means (17), allowing the player to be able to try to bring the ball (5) into a chosen orifice of the touching plate, giving him the best score.

Dans ce cas, le plateau toumant comporte, entre les divers trous (4) répartis circonférentiellement, des moyens de cloisonnement radiaux (18).In this case, the rotating plate comprises, between the various holes (4) distributed circumferentially, radial partitioning means (18).

Afin que le joueur soit informé du fait que une bille est en position d'attente de libération, soit que les zones de libération sont prévues visibles du joueur et / ou des moyens avertisseurs lumineux et / ou sonores sont prévus, actionnés à partir d'un capteur de présence situé dans la zone d'attente.So that the player is informed that a ball is in the standby release position, or that the release zones are provided visible from the player and / or light and / or audible warning means are provided, actuated from a presence sensor located in the waiting area.
